5445 Legacy Dr.
Plano, TX 75024
We are bringing a prestigious lineup of UX hiring managers and recruiters working in the UX space to bring some transparency to the hiring process. Some of the questions we are dying to ask:
- What are you looking for when you view a candidate’s resume/portfolio?
- What is the one thing that would cause you to throw a resume in the proverbial trash?
- In an interview, what is a deal breaker?
- What is something a candidate can do to stand out during their portfolio presentation?
- What questions should candidates ask you during the interview process?

Richardson, TX 75082
Whether you use Agile, Lean Startup, Design Thinking, or other product design and development methods, one of the greatest challenges is figuring out what critical business activities and metrics are needed to rapidly move prospects from awareness to passionate loyalty.
In this session, you will learn how to do just that by using the powerful Value Stream Discovery Loop tool. Through hands-on practice, you will gain insights into how to identify where your customers are getting stuck in receiving value from your product or experience. We will use real-life examples to demonstrate what customers expect at each of seven value-stages and what business activities and metrics are needed to move them along to quickly receive value.
